DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – Dirk Nowitzki continued his climb up the record books on Wednesday night, moving past Reggie Miller on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Nowitzki made a free throw after a technical foul was called against Houston’s Dwight Howard on Wednesday night to reach 25,280 points and take over 15th place.

“I obviously didn’t think when I first got there that, 15 to 16 years later, I’d be a top-15 scorer of all time,” said Nowitzki. “It was great — a great night”
